Alex is the absolute BEST. We just got our wedding photos and I'm enamoured! He showed up on time and ready to shoot with his assistant. In the moment, he was able to get some sho...
ts from perspectives I didn't even think of. We drove around Lake Tahoe with him, and every location around the lake was decided on the spot, we even had to switch locations because of a Park Ranger and both Alex and his assistant were right with us the whole time! My skin in every photo looked gorgeous and both of them were climbing over huge rocks near the water and standing inside 6ft brush in full wedding attire just to get the perfect angle, and he DID!! He also took the time to do a pre-wedding consultation, was very responsive through the whole process and he delivered our pictures exactly when he said he would. My wedding pictures are outstanding, and I highly recommend him!
Not only was Alex very professional and easy to work with but the images that he delivered were more than what we were expecting. What we wanted were great pictures that captured e...
very aspect of our wedding day but what he delivered were amazing images that my family and friends can’t stop talking about. We gave Alex the freedom to be as creative as he wanted and he definitely delivered. We highly recommend Alex and we are so grateful we made the right decision. Thank you Alex!
I highly recommend Alex Monroy Photography. We had a large beach wedding in Lake Tahoe and the weather was not cooperating. In spite of bad weather, a last minute change of venu...
e in a chaotic environment, Alex and his assistant still took amazing photos. Even using the weather to their advantage for some breathtaking beach pictures.
It took my wife and I quite some time to choose a photographer. After meeting with many photographers we knew that Monroy photography was our number one choice and we are so grate...
ful we had Alex photograph our wedding. Not only was he very creative in his style but he delivered such amazing photographs that truly captured the essence of our special day. Alex exceeded all of our expectations by giving us such beautiful photographs that we will forever cherish.
We knew that finding the right photographer was going to be a challenge since there are so many to choose from. The moment we met Alex and we saw his beautiful work we knew we did...
n’t need to look any further. Not only was he very professional in every sense but we were just simply amazed by our wedding images. Alex definitely exceeded our expectations. We are so thankful and fortunate to have found Monroy Photography.
Alex was amazing! He and his assistant worked so hard to make sure we got every photo we wanted. I would highly recommend him to anyone searching for a photographer!
We found Alex's website and really liked the photos so we decided to go ahead and schedule a consultation with him. We went ahead and placed a deposit of $300 and did our engagemen...
t shoot. Everything seemed fine. From there he was very hard to get a hold of. We had asked if we could get just a few photos early to put on our Save the Dates and he agreed. However, we kept having to message him to see if he was actually going to do it because we hadn't heard from him any time we'd text him and when he finally did send them (last minute) we had to ask him to fix the editing because it looked extremely unnatural. He then went past the time frame he said we would have the rest of the photos by and when we did get them, we didn't like any of the photos. I also had to ask him to send the contract we signed because he kept saying he'd email it or mail it and he never did. Lastly, we found out that my husband was getting military orders to another state and we'd have to put our wedding on hold so I messaged him explaining such and he didn't even have the courtesy of responding. Very glad we aren't using him for our wedding because he extremely unreliable.
Although I received numerous good wedding pictures from the 600 pictures taken on my wedding day, there were only a couple that really impressed me as compared to the unbelievable ...
"wow" shots on the monroy photography website. There were numerous shots I asked for that were important to me that didn't happen. I had an amazing venue... Grand Island Mansion and he only took pictures of us in front of it... it has amazing cascading stairs on the upper level, a totally cool pool hall below, georgeous & whimsical grounds all around... he kept a us all in one spot. I was fairly disappointed in his lack of creativity and flexibility. Comparing his photos to other people's at Grand Island, he certainly failed & did not do his homework. He is also really busy so he couldn't remember me when I called after a couple months to find out when we would receive our photos & it took 3 months! Unacceptable. Lastly to pick up my photos I had to drive 45+ miles... if was very accommodating on the front end, but not after he was paid!
Alex and his assistant at Monroy Custom Photography were phenomenal to work with throughout the wedding planning process. Alex responded promptly to emails, was open to any suggest...
ions my husband and I had for him, and does excellent work.
We did an engagement session (which was included in our package) in April 2015 which was wonderful. It was great getting to know Alex a little during this time, and the photos turned out better than we could have imagined.
My husband and I were married on July 19, 2015 in Sacramento, and Alex was hands-down the hardest working vendor at the entire wedding. The guests loved him, and commented about how wonderful of a photographer he was after the wedding was over.
The photographers arrived on time the day of the wedding dressed in a nice suit with a tie matching our wedding colors. He was patient, professional, and gave the wedding party easy directions to follow so he could get some great dynamic shots.
We couldn't be more happy with our experience working with Monroy Custom Photography. Thank you guys so much! We will be using you as our photographer in the years to come!
Alex and his assistant were more than helpful through every step of our wedding. Alex made sure the day ran smoothly while taking gorgeous pictures. He paid very close attention to...
detail that made the pictures come out perfect. He is very creative and absolutely takes any suggestions into consideration. Alex has very good judgement about specific action shots to take and from different angles. We're happy he took a lot of behind the scenes natural pictures that are hard to catch, unlike other photographers that take standard wedding photos. He always has a positive attitude and we would definitely recommend every bride or groom to choose him to be your photographer on your special day. You won't be disappointed with Alex's elegant, inspiring photos that allowed us to relive the day all over again.

Alex deserves 10 stars in every category. He was so helpful and responsive throughout the entire planning process. He even gave me advice on my day of timeline to make sure we got ...
every picture we wanted. My husband calls him a "ninja" because every time you thought you might want a photo you would turn around and he would already be there. He also isn't afraid to climb trees and lay on the sidewalk to get the perfect perspective. Our photos turned out absolutely amazing! Everyone looks flawless and there are so many different types of shots. I cannot believe how much he fit into the short windows I gave him for photos. I would HIGHLY recommend Alex to anyone looking for a photographer. I even had guests commenting on how great he was before we left the venue. Thank you! Michelle & Ryan
